Friesach - Hl. Bartholomäus

The huge parish church in Friesach, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, was
erected already in the 12th century. The higher eastern choir with the little turret was added 200 years later. Six times over the centuries the church got damaged by fires (last time 1895) - and each time it got rebuilt - and altered.

The massive "westwerk" has this look since a reconstruction that was completed in 1912.
